Last week I was thinking about Tom, so I googled him and found his obituary. I am so sorry for your loss.
I met Tom when I was in high school. Our homes were 5 minutes apart. We became fast friends. Tom had a 55 Chevy and me a 56 Chevy that needed work on the engine. So he suggested we take the engine apart and rebuilt it. He was good at giving directions and I was good at following them.
Tom was fun, kind, smart and an inspiration to me. We had a lot of good times and experiences together through the 60’s and 70’s.
